P55A UD7 anyone buying it?

sneekypeet · Feb 14, 2010, 10:29 PM

Thanks to Cold Storm I got a sweet link over MSN.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128434

I'm really thinking of pulling the trigger, and replacing my UD6 with this, and just give it to her. I planned on selling her Asus to help offset the cost, so essentially getting the GB for around $190 shipped after I sell it.

Thoughts, comments, kicks in the grapes?

can anyone help me decipher the GPU slot BS?

I really hope they dont mean only the top two slots are 16x and the bottom 2 are 8x?

Got the manual

sorted...

Cold Storm · Feb 14, 2010, 11:16 PM

Buy, Buy, Buy!!!

SO, I know if I should

The Slots are strange.. Newegg even confused me the first time reading it on how it goes 16x16... But, then again. It's Newegg...

sneekypeet · Feb 15, 2010, 12:52 AM

well on my way to snag some mc dongles for dinner, and unless someone can tell me why not to get it, I think I'm buying it when I get home

Too late....ordered. I guess I will see Wednesday if this thing is worth it

Cold Storm · Feb 15, 2010, 03:06 AM

Wednesday, I'll have the popcorn set for 8pm!

Will has images and any new achievements posted, just wish I had enough loot to have a loop together already. I guess this just lights the fire under my ass to get a block, tubing, and some barbs

Oh I almost forgot....CAKE!!!!!!!

mlee49 · Feb 15, 2010, 03:25 AM

Are you sure its a GB board you re after? it looks like an asus board rofl!

sneekypeet · Feb 15, 2010, 03:32 AM

I'm going to be selling the Asus, I'm just glad its held together for me this long. Asus and I dont have a good track record, so it booting and OCing was a plus this time around, I just dont care for it like the GB's.

Couldnt find a blue PCB cake

sneekypeet · Feb 18, 2010, 06:36 PM

well my UPS guy is the man of the hour......sorry for the crappy pics, I was sort of excited, and wanted to get em out of the way
